Mrs. Emmons, Who Made a Sensa-
ton In Aroostook County.

BANGOR, Jan. 13.-Mrs. Emmons, defen-
dant in case now on trial at Washington,
in which she is alleged to be insane, and
about whose early life there seems to be a
mystery, undoubtedly came from Aroostook
county. Several years ago she made her ap-
pearance in this section, and by her peculiar
manner and lavish display of money and
jewels attracted much attention She tar
ried here, and also spent much time at
Moosehead and at the Smell House in Houl-
ton, then kept by Mr.. Floyd, accompanied
by her maid, she secured the best apartments
at this house, from which she made secret
now said her father lived
1t is asserted she paid off mortgage on
his farm, besides giving him considerable
money. Numerous presents were made to
all she came in contact with, some of them
being of considerable value. She gave the
name Of Emmons, but all efforts to obtain
further information were repulsed. Such
was the impression made upon those who
saw her, that passengers who rode with her
from Blanchard to Greenville remember her
well and consider her of unsound mind.
Many of her peculiarities were described
at the time by the landlady of the Smell
House to friends in this city, and when they
read the proceedings in the Washington
court, they became convinced she was the
mysterious visitor there in 1876. In view of
the fact that counsel in the case are ignorant
of her parentage, and that Prof. Emmons de-
clares himself ignorant of her maiden name
or the name of her first husband, never hav-
ing been able to learn the truth from her, it
would seem as though this singular visit to
Aroostook was worthy of investigation.

The Boy from Cork.


One Of the handsomest equipages on Fifth
Avenue, the other day, was driven by a
young Irishman who rrriyed in this city from
Cork recently, with $500 in his pockets. He
had come to see the United States, and $500
was to pay his expenses. One Of the ac-
quaintanees he made was anewspaper man,
who took the visitor down into Wall street
to show him the sights there, and quite by
chance introduced him to one Of the Stock
Exchange magnates. The lad had a story or
two, new and succulent; the Stock Exchange
man liked him, and an offhand friendship
sprang up forthwith.
The Stock Exchange man was bear;
what more natural than that the youth from
Cork should be invited into the ranks? In
to wait; little by little the stock market be-
gan to split; soon 1t was wide open. The
$500 swelled into 5000 within few days;
then 1t grew TO twice S5,000 and when
Wednesdays crash came the figure doubled
once again, and $1,000 stood to the credit Of
the mere chit of boy who had never ex-
pected to handle so much money In many q
year to come.
He has bought horse and carriage. He
has moved from his quiet boarding house TO
first class hotel He is going to make that
his home over the ocean-sO he says. There
is just possibility, though, that II he
doesn't let Wall street alone he NAV be dis
appointed. III he stays in Wall street long
enough somebody else may be driving that
horse, and he may be glad to borrow money
TO get ticket over the sea. There have
been such cases.

NEW YoRK's CONTEST.
Relative Strength of Miller, Morton
and Hlscock in the Republican
Caucus.

ALBANY, Jan. 13.-From 10 to 20 votes of
the "a which make up the Republican caucus
remain today doubtful in every sense of the
word, and of the three candidates s-Miller,
Morton and Hiscock, Warner Miller seems
to be making the most progress in securing
doubtful votes He is from six to ten votes
short of majority, after gaining seven or
eight votes today, but he is nearer this point
than any other candidate and nearer than he
has before been, while Morton seems to be
farther away from the goal.
Hiscock has made gains, adding to the
votes of his congressional district and its
neighb0ring county six votes, which give
him an apparent strength Of 16, of whom
part have Morton and part Miller for sec
ond choice. The situation is constantly
changing For the present Morton remains
with the large and carefully, canvassed vote
with which he began, slowly losing under
the assaults of the strong force of supporters
who surround Senator Miller.
Morton's canvass is quiet one. 1t is in
the hands of men who make no noise in their
work, and there is a lack Of enthusiasm and
apparent strength at the Morton headquar-
ters which is calculated to convey a false
idea of his strength, By tally and check
list by pledges made before the legislature
assembled, and often before it was elected, it
stu presents strong list in numbers, but it
IS lnelastlc, 1t has no growth, and it is lessen
ing rather than gaining.
Miller's strength is the reverse in every
particular. 1t steadily grows, and it has now
reached the point at once encouraging and
endangering.. Where. Miller's vote is so
near majority as to invite a Combination
against him, the strength conceded by oppo-
nents and claimed by candidates is: Miller
claimed 40 and conceded 35; Morton 40 and
20; Hiscock 16 and 20. This leaves 10 to 16
undecided.
Senator Miller is receiving his friends and
superintending his canvass in high spirits.
The interest In the Senatorial contest has
greatly increased since three leading candi-
dates have occupied rooms on the same floor
of the Delevan House. The excitement will
reach its height tonight if the Erie delega-
ton should, as many allege it will, transfer
its allegiance from Senator Miller to Morton
at late hour.

How Nova scotIan is Effected by
the Fishery Dispute-A Cruisers
officer Talks.

EAsTPoRT, Jan. 12-The Sentinel of today
says:
"A Nova Scotian who was here in small
vessel this week told how the enforcement of
the Dominion fisheries laws effected him the
present year: He said: i have fine weir
fishing privilege ON my place, and before they
stopped our selling bait to American fisher
men | made good years work in few
months In the spring from my weir. Last
year my weir was full Of herring. but they
were OF no value to me whatever. couldn't
sell them to fishermen, and it wouldn't pay
to make pomace of them, so had to open
the welrs and let them go. / wish this fish
cry dispute was settled, for, with the present
action of our government, my first-rate fish
ing privilege is worthless, and my place
wouldn't bring quarter of its former value
if tried to sell it, >"
Captain William Kent, one of the officers
of the Dominion steam cruiser Acadia, was
at his home ON Graud Manan last week for
short vacation. The Acadia has cruised in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence the past season.
When asked why the fast steamer Acadia
had not made some seizures of American
fishermen, he replied that none had fished
within the three mile limit. BE is reported
as saying that it is thought that the fisheries
regulations will be enforced more vigorously
next season than the present by the Domin-
ion authorities. According to Captain Kent's
report of the Acadia's work the past season
some of the American fishermen viii have to
be offered extra inducements to bring them
inside the three mile limit next season If his
ship is to make any showing of extra vigi-
lance.

JEFFERsonIAN SIMPLICITY.

lieve that It Is. Your correspondent came TO
Washington the year after Garfield was

handlers at Weehauken this afternoon.
About so men were employed ON the coal
docks Of the Delaware & Hudson Company,
and large number from New York was ex-
pected to reinforce them before the day was
out. 1t was believed that the strikers would
not tolerate the filling Of their places by
"scabs" without violence, and Sheriff Heintz
was appealed to for aid. Special officers
were sworn In and the police authorities Of
Jersey City and Hoboken were requested to
take detaehments from the forces 10 the
scene. Chief Murphy Of Jersey City. sent
40 men under Inspector Lange. Chief Dom
ovan Of Hoboken, needed his entire force to
protect the coal interests in Hoboken, and
did not send assistance. At 2 o'clock several
hundred strikers met at Sturm's Pavilion,
and held a short session with closed doors.
1t was believed that after adjourning they
would move to the coal docks but contrary TO
expectation they did not come. The scene
about the docks was quiet and orderly dur
ing the entire day. Strikers loitered about
on the outskirts Of the city In small knots,
but made no threats Of violence.

of the Republican members of the Legisla-
ture was held this afternoon, with Speaker
Noyes as chairman, to discuss the question
OF selecting United States Senator. The

Massachusetts in the Senate who is not de-
sirable, to add to her long list of illustrious
sons. The proper course to be pursued could
be determined bymutual interchange Of SEN
timent, and for that purpose a conference
was called. Messrs. Morse. Ropes, Dresser
Parkman, KendIick and others participated
in the debate which followed. and an attempt
was made by the Long men to have an infor-
NAL ballot taken to show the preferences Of
those present In this they were unsuccess-
full, being cut off by a motion to adjourn, and
without reaching any definite result the con-
ference adjourned without date.
